There is no such thing as "the voltage" between the ends of your
excited dipole at an instant in time.


Please reference Fig 1, page 2-2, in the 15th edition of the ARRL
Antenna Book. "Current and voltage distribution on a 1/2WL wire.

The RMS (or peak) values of the voltages at the ends of the dipole
are maximum and 180 degrees out of phase. The ratio of net voltage to
net current is the impedance anywhere along the wire.
